# Printing Checks

You may print a GnuCash transaction as a check by selecting "Print Check" from the Transaction menu in a register display window.

In the Print Check dialog, select the style of check form that you wish to use, the position of the check on the page, and the format for printing the date on the check. Clicking OK will take you to the GnuCash Printing dialog, which will allow you to preview the check, select a printer and paper size, and start the print job.

# Check format

In order to print a check, you must know where the pre-printed lines and boxes are on the check form. There are two widely-used standard check formats: Quicken/QuickBooks (tm) compatible, and Microsoft Money (tm) compatible. By default, the check format is `Quicken/QuickBooks`, which prints to any Quicken-compatible check forms.
